Veteran’s Aid & Attendance Basics

We help veterans with Aid & Attendance, whereby Veterans and survivors who are eligible for a VA pension and require the aid and attendance of another person, or are housebound, may be eligible for a monetary payment. These benefits are paid in addition to a veteran’s monthly pension.

Since Aid and Attendance and Housebound allowances increase the pension amount, people who are not eligible for a basic pension due to excessive income may be eligible for pension benefits at these increased rates.

A Veteran or surviving spouse may not receive Aid and Attendance benefits and Housebound benefits at the same time.

Eligibility for Aid and Attendance Pension

The Aid & Attendance increased monthly pension amount may be added to your monthly pension amount if you require the aid of another person in order to perform personal functions required in everyday living, such as bathing, feeding, dressing, attending to the wants of nature, adjusting prosthetic devices, or protecting yourself from the hazards of your daily environment, and if you meet one of the following conditions:

• You are bedridden, in that your disability or disabilities requires that you remain in bed apart from any prescribed course of convalescence or treatment
• You are a patient in a nursing home due to mental or physical incapacity
• Your eyesight is limited to a corrected 5/200 visual acuity or less in both eyes; or concentric contraction of the visual field to 5 degrees or less
